Take the parabolic dune of Hobq desert in Inner Mongolia as research object. Based on the GIS platform by using differential GPS data and spatial interpolation to generate DEM, then using Multi-periods high resolution images to acquire the environmental background, at the same time combine with regional wind regime and vegetation condition to measure and analyze the morphology of the parabolic dune. The result shows that the parabolic dune showed U shape in plane, and dune arms point to the west which was also wind direction. The windward slope of longitudinal profile is gentler, while leeward slope is steeper. And cross section wasn’t symmetric. The dune’s average moving speed is 11.76 m/yr. Desert ridge line’s medial axis direction is WNW-ESE, in accord with the direction of prevailing wind and resultant drift potential. Artemisia Ordosicas mainly distribute on leeward slope, two arms, and the plane ground between them, and the annual average vegetation coverage decreased 0.95%. In the long-term effect of resultant wind, the dune keeps moving forward and Artemisia Ordosica between two arms show gradual natural stage recovery which presented zonal distribution. 3S technology has already become important research method in modern Aeolian sand morphology.
